I really liked this ep. The pool-cleaning part was so fun! Plus wet t-shirts! X3 I'm a bit disappointed that there wasn't really any scenes in the bathhouse though :< In the begining when it was said that there would be a bathhouse I pushed my hopes up, but there was no ecchi scenes after all... ^^;; Oh well.

The marching song was great, I wish there was an MP3 of it XD I was kinda curious about Sayako's big-titled song, but I guess what happened was fun too though n.n; The pillow fight was great too, specially the way it started XD

I wonder what's the deal with Kirino's mom, it seems she's an alcoholic or something? Definitelly am looking foward to the the next ep~

Maybe because this is a family-friendly comedy and not a fanservice ecchi show? Could it be that?

It was, all-in-all a hearty bridge episode for the next bit of the plot.

Yea it is. And it's good. I enjoy a little fanservice, but this show is still fun without it.

Another awesome episode, i was just missing some Kirino + Saya Tama-chan teasing action xD except that, everything for a good Bamboo Blade episode was inside.

I'm glad the bathhouse was skipped, it was meant to show Tamaki and the rest of the girls bonding, not for fanservice purposes.
I enjoyed this episode and am looking forward to finding out what happened to Kirino's mom.

I suppose that after watching so much fanservice my brain has been wired into automatically making the connection bathhouse->ecchi scenes... ^^;;
But at any rate, my point wasn't that there weren't ecchi scenes, but that the bathhouse was skipped entirely. They didn't really show any actual bonding nor anything. I mean, they could just had shown them with water up to they jaws, it wouldn't be fanservicing, and it wouldn't had left a huge hole like it happened. I mean, we barely saw even the inside of the bathhouse at all... <_<

Well, seriously, what else could they have done in there that they didn't do in the other bonding scenes? Maybe Kirino teasing Tama for being a cute little loli. And them comparing their sizes (like all Anime show seem to show in them bathhouse scenes).

I was actually hoping for Kirino to do one of her weird faces X3 But anywho, that's exactly my point, that scene was absolutely worthless. IIRC the only thing that happened there was Tama-chan saying that the last bathhouse she was in was really big. So WTH that bathhouse was there pretty much just to waste time! If they wouldn't, or couldn't show anything, or whatever it was, then why the hell did they even bother to make or mention a damn bathhouse in the first place? Just as a pointless filler, so far as I can see. Maybe in the manga the scene has something other hapening then, and they didn't show it due to lack of time. But at any rate the whole thing left me somewhat aggravated, since they could had used that time to make something other which would actually add something to the story, or at least be amusing.

I guess I kind of see your point. The whole episode was just filler bridging the last bit of the plot with the next, anyway.

Well, without the bath house, they never woulda had the part where azuma said "battle begin" and everyone just froze. The chicken noise she made when miya told her to go home was so hilarious.

Anyway, Id say it was a really great episode, probably one of the best so far :)

Really nice episode, I enjoyed it. They're a great bunch of characters when they're all together. I can imagine cleaning a pool is pretty exhausting so I guess you could take it as some kind of training for stamina. And w00t for cliffhanger.

On a side note: Huzzah-Doremi's typeset during the Blade Braver OP was absolute win!

Brave Blader is the anime that Tama-chan always watches. She's all like "DEFENDER OF JUSTICEEEEE" etc etc about it.

You're talking about Tama-chan right? If you are, then yes, she did have many scenes were she looked too cute. xD

The entire episode was great. 20 minutes of Bamboo Blade comedy at its finest. from the doting father "stalking" her daughter to the battle of the psychos (Miya-Miya and Ando).

I was under the impression she did it herself. I mean, who else could draw such a detailed description of Blade Braver except Tama-chan? ^_^

I thought it was funny when Tama couldn't remember that one girl's name. Uh.....*goes to look at BB's character page*. Yoko. xD

Maybe because of how well it turned out?

At any rate, it's not really clear how the drawing gets there. Though a little before it's shown, Tama is seen going up and down the screen, while the others are staying put. That's why I kinda thought she drew it. ^_^

Either I'm on laughing gas, or this was the funniest episode yet. I never stopped laughing; even when they skipped the bathhouse scene. It just came out of nowhere; the same for Satori's joke.

the miya x ando scenes were awesome, been waiting for that to happen ever since miya said "i should have fought her.." tama waking everyone up with blade braver was awesome, although didn't she record it? xD I was a bit annoyed that the bathouse scene was so short, i mean, sure this anime doesnt need fanservice to be awesome, but its not right to tease us like that with wet tshirts followed by a bathouse scene that gets cut short. =/ Also a good oppurtunity for more hijinks since i doubt theres gonna be alot more episodes with all the characaters from both schools at once after this bit. probably moving on to his other school's students soon. anyways it just was a bit too short for having ebing shown at all. lol at tama's response to the bathouse. zomg it was huge... o.o I feel sorry for satori though, she's already getting teased alot and only just barely joined x.x; Tama's father has some serious overprotective issues going on now... xD

I'm happy they didnt go to the bathouse. This show doesnt need fanservice, it's funny and good enough as it is.

This was such a funny episode. I loved how tama said "Ohayou Gozaimasu" to them so intensely while she was watching Blade Braver.

No bath house scene. The wet shirts during the pool sequence is the closest we can get to fan service...and I'm okay with it.

I didn't think that it was legal in Japan to do such a thing! This is a miracle...
Also, WHAT HAPPENED to Kirino's mom?!?!?
